Challenges • RCT’s • Fidelity • Political • Partnership working • Cost benefit analysis • Benefit realisation • Scale up
Lessons Learned • Involvement of wider partnership in developing strategy, a success of Brighter Futures. • Ownership and implementation a challenge – implementation tends to revert back to established paths. • Opening up tools and methodology to partnership peer review and scrutiny is healthy. • Making EBP “business as usual” – culture change. • Implementation, evaluation and benefit tracking. • Fidelity. • Investors vs. beneficiaries (PBR)
Lessons Learned • Engagement with community and parents • Evaluation of IY imminent, but early indications showed: • Data states 9% of 3 year olds with conduct disorder. • But Children Centres screening showed only 2% • Children who can most benefit are least likely to attend. • Change in outreach strategy. • Services must put more effort into outreach to ensure all families that are in need benefit (Marmott Review)
Future Plans • Roll out of FNP, IY, PATHS. • IY part of “core offer” in 16 areas. • Graham Allen Review. • Social Impact Bonds • Community Based Budgets.
